KOST is an event about the Dutch food culture for everyone who cares about our daily foods. The first edition will take place on 21 September.<\/p>\n
Chefs, producers, scientists, farmers and policymakers explore the possibilities to put the Dutch food culture and Dutch cuisine firmly on the map and make it healthier. They will do that together with speakers like Kobe Desramaults, Robert Kranenborg, Julian Baggini, Linda Roodenburg and Martin Caraher during the KOST event on 21 September at the Westergasfabriek in Amsterdam.<\/p>\n
KOST is an initiative by the \u2018Van Moeder Natuur\u2019 platform (freely translated as the \u2018Mother nature platform\u2019). The platform focuses on a healthy Dutch food culture. This includes enjoying healthy, delicious and natural products packed with nutrients. Next to that, it means making time for food again by home cooking and enjoying meals together.<\/p>\n
